Inviting, intimate atmosphere lacks the lived-in look, and those inevitable poker machines at the bar are a bit of a distraction - but those are minor quibbles. Music is not too loud, and there are few TVs to distract you. They have mainly their own beers on tap, plus a couple popular brews for the Philistines. The bartender is helpful and friendly but not too friendly, and loves to chat. Food is very good - try their five-cheese grilled sandwich! This is a must if you visit Reno.

Stopped by here on the way to the airport. Sat on the upstairs patio, which turned out to have very few areas of shade. The seating inside looked pretty upscale. Twelve beers were on tap and served nicely in a sampler platter. Most of the beer was pretty decent. Didn’t try the food, but it sure looked good. I would frequent this place if I lived around here.

Great location, down by the river, just a few block from the main Casino district. There seems to be quite a few locals as well as the expected tourists & gamblers. They have a great selection of their own craft brews as well as a few guest beers including a couple of BMC beers on tap. The bartenders seem very knowledgable about the beers they serve. They will provide a sample if you are not sure what you may want. My favorite were the Pale Ale & IPA. The beers are better across the board than what is served at the Brew Brothers. They have a good menu to go with the brews.

Definitely a step down in class from the main Silver Peak brewery location, even on the weekends this seems like a business-lunch kind of place: the patio seating faces concrete and large casinos, everyone’s in a button-up shirt, and half the people seem to be drinking wine. But, the bartenders seem to know their stuff well, and there are about 15 generally solid beers on tap. Sampled the Baltic Porter and Flynn’s Wet Hop, which were both pretty tasty. The final stop of our day-long Reno/Sparks beer crawl, this is just 0.3 miles from Brew Brothers and less than a mile from Morandi’s. A convenient triangle for inebriated walks.

Just one block from the Riverside Theater, Wingfield Park and the Truckee River, Silver Peak is a great place to have a meal and a brew before or after a movie, show or swim. The beer and food are wonderful.

Pretty nice place with patio and plenty of seating. Decent atmosphere, but got kind of loud as the night went on. Not a very good selection of brews, but the food was pretty good. The service wasn’t bad either. Not to expensive. I think I could go here again to enjoy some food and average beer.

Located in the heart of downtown. Very nice corner location with a big patio outside and plenty of seats inside. Very colorful decor with lots of track lighting. Lots of taps, most to all of the Silver Peak beers along with some other common stuff. Anchor Steam, Lindemans Framboise, Boddintons, Cider, etc. Very tasty menu, fairly affordable. I got the shrimp curry, it was very tasty considering this is reno and the food is usually quantity. Nice staff, fairly knowledgable. The locals were fairly loud but asked questions and were friendly. I could drink here again, much better location than the brewery.
